Oooh, how much are the Helfrichis, and do you still have one?

We still have two and they are $69.99.

Thanks!

 

[barrierreefcf]

The Blastos are the typical single/double polyp green center with red skirts. Hopefully, Brie can get pics of the Acros after they get the shipment organized

Also,

Not sure if anyone noticed the whitecap goby/shrimp pair we listed earlier in the thread. These are super cool and used to run $600-$900. Our pair is only $249.99. Brie was working on photos earlier today but you can always google them.

Here's some quick and dirty acro photos for ya..

Photo really doesnt do this purple one justice, its big and like, ultraviolet purple.

 

[Brie]

The wee little Whitecap Goby and his pistol shrimp.. Best pics I could get lol..

Just curious, do you guys do any special procedures with the wild/mariculture pieces you guys get? Things like dips or QT to avoid pests.

 

[barrierreefcf]

First we visually inspect. If there are noticable flatworms (a problem with aussie acropora and some suppliers in general) we either give the piece away with a warning without it touching our tank or we throw it away. We then dip every acropora (except echinata which is sensitive to coral rx) in interceptor for red bugs. We then follow this with a coral rx dip for acropora eating nudibranchs and flatworms. We do this whether they are wild, maricultured, or captive bred. We also randomly dip our corals in an attempt to make sure nothing got past the initial procedure. Even with these precautions in place, it's possible for pests to get by us because the eggs, which can be very hard to see, are not harmed by the dips. The eggs hatch and voila...problem The only sure fire way for the end user to make sure your purchases are 100% pest free is to qt all new purchases.
